Hi, I have a problem with my processor. I switched my mobo and cpu out recently for a z68 mobo and an i5 2500k. However, when i tried to play battlefield 3, the performance was horrible, significantly worse than on my old cpu. I figured out that my temps are apparently hovering between 75c and 85c while idling. I know that it isn't that hot because the heat sink is literally almost cool to the touch. I think that it's misreading my temps and underclocking the processor to prevent it from overheating or something. I don't even really know if it does that it's just my theory because I know that the temperature isn't that high. Any ideas out there?
If anyone needs more info just let me know.
